Student Chapter Toolkit
Start a Climate Solve AI
chapter at your university.
Bring together students who love AI and engineering and want to work on real climate solutions. We give you a plug-and-play toolkit: constitution templates, event slides, project guides, and support.
Designed for universities like Stanford, MIT, Berkeley – and easily adaptable to any campus.
What you get
- Ready-to-use constitution & bylaws template for student org registration.
- Kickoff event slides & promo copy to launch your group fast.
- 90-day roadmap from first meeting to demo day.
- AI + climate project starter kits and GitHub templates.
- Branding assets and ongoing support from Climate Solve AI.
Why start a Climate Solve AI chapter?
Less than one percent of AI engineers work in climate tech. A student chapter turns your campus into a hub where AI talent learns, builds, and collaborates on real climate solutions.
Build real projects
Form teams to work on AI-powered climate solutions — from energy optimization to climate modeling and climate data verification. Turn theory into portfolio-ready work.
Grow your skills & network
Learn from other engineers, climate-tech founders, and researchers. Build skills that matter — and meet people who care about the same problems you do.
Create visible impact
Showcase your chapter’s work on climatesolve.ai, present at demo days, and inspire more AI engineers to move into climate tech.
What’s inside the toolkit
Everything you need to go from idea to an officially recognized student organization — and to keep it running for the first 90 days.
1. Constitution & bylaws template
A university-ready document covering purpose, membership, officer roles, elections, meetings, and conduct. Easily adaptable to your campus requirements.
2. “How to start a chapter” guide
Step-by-step instructions: find co-founders, secure a faculty advisor, apply for recognition, and host your first meeting.
3. Kickoff event starter pack
Slide deck, event description, invitation email, and social posts to run your first “AI for Climate” intro event.
4. 90-day chapter roadmap
A simple three-month plan: recruiting, project formation, and demo day — so your chapter keeps momentum from day one.
5. Project starter kits & GitHub templates
Example projects, issue templates, and repository structure to help teams start building quickly and document their work.
6. Branding assets & communication templates
Logos, slide templates, and email drafts — so your chapter looks and feels like part of a global movement.
How it works
Starting a chapter is simple. You don’t need permission from us — but we’re here to support you at every step.

Events & branding
Campus Lead role
Every chapter is led by a small team of Campus Leads. They are the backbone of a growing global network of AI engineers working on climate challenges.
Responsibilities
- Organize 1–2 events per month.
- Help student teams pick and scope projects.
- Coordinate with faculty / labs when relevant.
- Share updates with Climate Solve AI HQ.
What you get
- “Campus Lead” title & profile on climatesolve.ai.
- Priority access to mentors and partner orgs.
- Invites to online meetups with other leads.
- Potential recommendation letters for standout work.
Apply to become a Campus Lead
Tell us a bit about you, your university, and why you want to start a chapter. We’ll get back to you with next steps and optional support.

FAQ
A few common questions from students who want to start a chapter.
Do I need permission from Climate Solve AI to start a chapter?
No. You can use this toolkit and start a group immediately. If you’d like, you can also apply as a Campus Lead so we can connect you with other chapters and offer support.
How many people do I need to start?
Most universities require 3–5 founding members and a faculty advisor to recognize a new student organization. The toolkit helps you with both.
Do we have to be AI experts already?
No. Chapters can host reading groups, beginner-friendly workshops, and small starter projects. Motivation and curiosity matter more than your current level.
Can non-technical students join?
Yes. Many projects benefit from people with policy, design, business, or communication experience. Your core focus is AI and engineering — but climate is interdisciplinary.
